Stewardship:
(n.) Map which Combines Attributes of Land Ownership, Management, and a Measure of Intent to Maintain Biodiversity
(a.) Language Spoken Only in Acronyms
![Page 4: A Regional Approach to Stewardship Mapping for the Southwest Regional Gap Analysis Project Southwest Regional GAP Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d5d5503460f94a3bd06/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why the term Stewardship?
• Because Legal Ownership of a Land Tract does not Necessarily Equate to the Entity Charged with Managing the Resource
• Because a Single Steward may Subdivide Land into Units that may be Managed for Different Purposes that Affect Biodiversity
![Page 5: A Regional Approach to Stewardship Mapping for the Southwest Regional Gap Analysis Project Southwest Regional GAP Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d5d5503460f94a3bd06/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
2 Main Objectives
1.) Develop a Digital Map of Land Ownership Boundaries Describing Ownership with Internal Management Areas & Entities Responsible for Management
2.) Attribute Individual Land Units with GAP Management Status Categories for Purpose of Describing Management Status of Elements of Biodiversity and Identifying Potential Gaps

Step 1 Collect Updated Base Data
![Page 8: A Regional Approach to Stewardship Mapping for the Southwest Regional Gap Analysis Project Southwest Regional GAP Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d5d5503460f94a3bd06/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Step 2Separate Individual ManagementCategories From Base Data i.e. BLM, State Trust
![Page 9: A Regional Approach to Stewardship Mapping for the Southwest Regional Gap Analysis Project Southwest Regional GAP Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d5d5503460f94a3bd06/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Geodatabase= Better ToolAttribute Domains Based on GAP Management Coding System
GAP_Status Only allow 1-4Class_Desc 1000 = Federal LandsOwner_Desc 1100 = Bureau of Land ManagementManager_Desc 1101 = Area of Critical Environmental ConcernDivisionParcel_Name River MountainsParcel_Desc Text = Reason for ACEC =Bighorn Sheep HabitatSource_New Nevada State BLM Office Updated 01/03
PROS: Change in Attribute Domain automatically changes Data TableHelps Eliminate Misspellings i.e. Bureau of Land ManageentSaves Time from Typing Individual Attribute; Creates Uniformity
Step 3Convert to Geodatabase, Attribute with Domains

![Page 13: A Regional Approach to Stewardship Mapping for the Southwest Regional Gap Analysis Project Southwest Regional GAP Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d5d5503460f94a3bd06/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Step 7Validate Geodatabase Topology, Using TopologyRules such as ‘Must Not Overlap’ & ‘No Gaps’
![Page 14: A Regional Approach to Stewardship Mapping for the Southwest Regional Gap Analysis Project Southwest Regional GAP Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d5d5503460f94a3bd06/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Step 8Fix Topological Errors, Address Slivers

Criteria Used to Define Management Status Categories
• Permanence of Protection from Conversion of Natural Land Cover to Unnatural.
• Relative Amount of the Land Unit Managed for Natural Cover (5% Maximum Amount Managed in Unnatural State).
• Inclusiveness of the Management, i.e., Single Species vs. Ecosystem.
• Type of Management (i.e., Suppresses or Allows Natural Disturbance) and Degree that it is Mandated Through Legal and Institutional Arrangements.
![Page 19: A Regional Approach to Stewardship Mapping for the Southwest Regional Gap Analysis Project Southwest Regional GAP Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d5d5503460f94a3bd06/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Status 2
Status 3
Status 4
Status 1Permanent Protection from Conversion of Natural Land Cover, Mandated Management Plan, Disturbance Events are Allowed to Proceed.
Permanent Protection from Conversion of Natural Land Cover, Mandated Management Plan, May ReceiveUses that Degrade Quality of Natural Communities, i.e.Disturbance Suppression.
Permanent Protection from Conversion of Natural Land Cover for the Majority of the Area but Subject toExtractive Uses (i.e. logging, mining), Recognizes T&E Species Protection.
No Known Institutional Mandates to Prevent Conversionof Natural Land Cover to Anthropogenic Habitat Types,Generally Allows Conversion to Unnatural Land CoverThroughout.

Collection of Management Plans
• Currently Collect Resource Management Plans (RMPs) from the BLM
• Individual Plans for the National Parks, Forests, and National Wildlife Refuges
• If No Plan is Available, can Conduct Interviews with Knowledgeable Personnel

Analysis
• Comparing Relative Amount of Managing Entity Responsibility in Relation to Other Managing Entities
• Indicate a Potential Need for Change in Management Strategies for Areas Important to Biodiversity Maintenance
![Page 24: A Regional Approach to Stewardship Mapping for the Southwest Regional Gap Analysis Project Southwest Regional GAP Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d5d5503460f94a3bd06/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Importance of Stewardship Map in GAP Process
• Help Reveal Opportunities for Cooperative Management, More Equitable Distribution of Responsibility
• Spatial Documentation of the Existing Network of Conservation Lands
• Base Map from which future Designs for Conservation Networks Can be Built Upon
